I was in an abusive relationship for 4 years, I've been out of it a little over a year now. Last year was difficult, thought I was going to go mad but now I find myself isolating because I know how to make healthier choices in who I choose to connect with but now I feel like my trauma keeps me from connecting. I'm past that place where you run back into it or run looking for new trauma...I don't who this person is. I like her more but I'm very uncomfortable.
